Chapter 233 Buying New Year’s Goods
Although Bailuobo is a local dog, it is smarter and stronger than other dogs, perhaps because it drinks the spiritual spring water. Of course, it is also because it eats well.
She and Gu Jiandong often secretly fed her white radish, and so did her grandparents. The old couple said that they only needed to give her white radish if she had anything to eat.
People were not even full, so how could there be extra food for the dogs? When they were not at home, the old man and the old woman secretly fed them white radishes.
Even Liu Pandi secretly fed the child white radish, which shows how rare white radish is at home.
Sitting on the dog sled, the two of them galloped all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The old ox was trying to overtake the white radish all the way, but failed. When the white radish stopped, it was so arrogant that it kept looking at the old ox with contempt.
The docile Ah Huang was so angry that he wanted to kick the cocky dog in front of him.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Everyone takes out the tickets and money that they usually don't want to use and goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy New Year's goods to take home. These days, the supply and marketing cooperatives are especially lively and are almost packed with people.
There were so many people around that Old Lady Shen was worried about the old ox. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Who of you will stay at the door to look after the ox and the dog?"
There were too many people inside, and Gu Jiandong didn't want to go in. He said, "Grandma Shen, I'll watch from here."
Old Mrs. Shen was worried. There were so many people here today. What if the child was coaxed away by others? Jiandong looked so cute. "Jiandong is such a good child. Okay, then you stay here and watch him."
She then said to her eldest grandson, "Jiabao, you and Jiandong wait for us at the door."
"understood."
Shen Shuyu took out a handful of candy from her pocket and gave it to Gu Jiandong. "Be good and stay here with big brother. Don't run around. If someone comes over to talk to you, don't pay any attention."
Gu Jiandong put the candy in his pocket and nodded obediently, "I know."
Liu Pan was about to enter the supply and marketing cooperative excitedly, but was suddenly stopped by Old Lady Shen, "Mom, why are you holding me? There are so many people here today. If we don't go in, all the good stuff will be gone."
"There are too many people inside. You can wait here. If you want to buy something, give me the money and I will buy it for you."
At the beginning of the year, people buy things by squeezing and shouting loudly, and it is normal to push and shove each other. What if the third child's family goes in and gets pushed down by others?
"Mom, don't worry, I'm the only one who can squeeze others, no one can squeeze me."
If she comes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy New Year's goods but doesn't go in herself, then what is she doing here?
Liu Pandi did not listen to her mother-in-law's advice and opened the most advanced supply and marketing cooperative.
Old Mrs. Shen didn't know what to say. She could only say to her eldest and second daughters-in-law, "Let's keep an eye on her and don't let her be squeezed out by others." What a tiger woman. She's so pregnant and yet she's so out of control all day long.
Liu Pan was pregnant, so Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia could only stand beside her, one in front and one behind, and one on her left and one on her right, to prevent others from squeezing her.
Shen Shuyu really didn't expect that there would be so many people in today's supply and marketing society. Her shoes were almost stepped on.
"Big sister, stand still and don't be pushed down by others. If someone pushes you, just push them back, like this."
There happened to be an aunt who kept pushing Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu snorted, slightly stuck out her butt, and pushed the aunt who was pushing her to the other side.
The aunt who was pushed away by her, "..." She had never seen such a girl.
Shen Shuyu said she had learned it, but she was very strong, and if someone pushed her, she would just push them away gently.
The supply and marketing cooperative had limited supplies, and they arrived too late, so the things that Old Mrs. Shen wanted to buy were out of stock.
After going around in a big circle, Zhang Cuicui grabbed a piece of cloth.
Liu Pandi wanted to buy some brown sugar but couldn't find any, and the canned food he wanted to eat was also not available.
I didn't buy anything and one of my shoes was stepped on by someone. I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. I went in happily but came out with a downcast face.
The backpack was empty, with only a piece of cloth inside.
Shen Qiu was quite happy because the girl bought two red hairbands.
Li Caixia said, "If I had known, I should have come here to buy New Year's goods two days ago. Now there is nothing to buy."
It's still early, Shen Shuyu suggested, "Grandma, Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, why don't we go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city now?"
Anyway, they now have a sled to ride on, so it doesn’t take long to go to the city.
Liu Pan's eyes lit up, "It's better to go to the city. The supply and marketing cooperative in the city is bigger than ours, and there must be more things there. Mom, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, let's go to the city." She had never been to the city before. There was a sled to ride on, and they didn't have to walk.
Shen Shuyu wanted to go to the city's supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, and take Gu Jiandong to the hospital for another check-up.
"Then let's go to the city."
An hour later, they arrived at the city's supply and marketing cooperative. Old Mrs. Shen and her friends had never been to the city's supply and marketing cooperative before, so they were quite reserved when they entered.
There are a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative here, but there are not many goods left, and some of the popular goods have been sold out.
Shen Shuyu asked them to walk around first, and she took Gu Jiandong to the hospital for a checkup. Gu Jiandong didn't know where Shuyu was going with her at first, and when they arrived at the hospital gate, Gu Jiandong refused to go in.
He almost rolled over, and said pitifully, "Shu Yu, I don't want to go in. I don't like hospitals. I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy canned food."
If he went in, the doctor would reveal everything. He liked his current life and wanted to stay with Shu Yu forever.
He is a fool now. He can act coquettishly with Shu Yu without any scruples and stick to Shu Yu. If Shu Yu knew that he was fine, their way of getting along would never be the same as it is now.
"Be good, go get checked by the doctor, it's quick."
"No, if you let me in again, I'll fall to the ground and I won't be able to get up."
White Radish: “…” White Radish rolled his eyes at him.
Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty! If I could talk, I would be the first to expose you.
Shen Shuyu: "..."
The child was throwing a tantrum and refused to go in. Shen Shuyu had no choice but to carry him in.
She could bear it, but the child would definitely be angry with her. Shen Shuyu cared about the child's feelings. He was particularly reluctant to go to the hospital today, so Shen Shuyu had to give up.
"Let's not go to the hospital. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find our grandmother and buy some canned food for you."
Gu Jiandong was happy, showing his beautiful dimples. Afraid that Shen Shuyu would ask him to go to the hospital, he quickly got on the sled and then pulled Shen Shuyu to sit down, "White Radish, let's go."
White Radish usually plays in the village. He was very happy to be able to go out today. He pulled the dog sled without any hesitation and ran as fast as he could.
Anyway, when Shen Shuyu sat on the dog sled, he only had one feeling, and that was "excitement".
How could it not be exciting? The white radish ran as fast as flying. Shen Shuyu saw the afterimages of the white radish's four legs overlapping each other.
